The Rev. S. A. Hay worth, who has
resigned the pastorate of the First
Baptist church, to become effective
April 1, received a telegram from the
pulpit committee of the Baptist
church in Washington, Ind., Friday,

DEVELEPMENTS ALARM OFFICIALS
Road To City Is Open For Insurgent
Attack Few Parts of
Country Are '
Quiet.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. War De
partment officials were concerned to
day by reports from Colonel Steever,
in charge of the American forces pa
trolling the Mexican border, confirm
ing press dispatches that large forces
of rebels were moving on Juarez, op
posite El Pasco, Tex.
The advices said that General
Orozco was leading one of these
forces with 1,400 men.
Officials of both the State and War
Departments consider recent develop
ments in Northern Maxico as ominous
and are watching closely every move
of tne government and rebel forces.
From Casas Grandes a runlor has
come of a serious state of affairs,
with a large rebel force massing
there.
o The rumored movements of General
Orozco are without confirmation, but
Chihuahua continues a hotbed of revo
lution. A few parts of the republic are
quiet but others continue to furnish a
basis for the deep concern felt
there. All the women and children
living at Velardent and Asarco, where
the American Smelting & Refining
Company is located, are reported to
have departed.
Disturbances are reported in Oriza
za and Jalapa and Soledad in the state
of Vera Cruz.
Disobedience of orders in crossing
the international line with men un
der arms will be the charge upon
which Lieuteenant Ben W. Field,
Eighteenth Infantry, is to be tried at
San Antonio.
The War Department was at first
disposed to condone the offense, as it
arose from a mistake, but it has been
finally decided that for the effect upon
Mexico, as an indication of the Unit
ed States' intention "to observe the
neutrality laws, it was necessary to
make an example."
BACHELOR GIRLS
Mrs. E. Kenneth Stanton, of Glad
stone, was hostess of the Bachelor
Girls at a delightful reception Friday
evening. Cards were played at four
tables, the games being five hundred,

LA FOLLETTE INSISTS
I IS STILL IN RACE
MADISON, Wis., Feb. 23. Without
emphatically committing himself, but
still implying that he yet has hopes
of securing the Republican progres
sive presidential nomination, Senator
Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin,
writing from Washington, has replied
in a letter to Wisconsin progressives
who had unanimously indorsed his
candidacy at a recent meeting. The
letter, addressed jointly to J. J.
Blaine, chairman of the meeting, and
Enrich S. Sterm, secretary, said:
"Without one word from you I
should have known where to find you
all. Nowhere are there braver or
brainef fighters for human rights to
be found than in Wisconsin. Trained
and seasoned by many battles you
never have been known to swerve
from the straight course. Again and
again you have made what those with
out vision call 'defeat' the very cor
nerstone of a great and lasting vic
tory. , -
"We are facing a civic crisis. We
demand better control of government
as the just solution of our nation
wide economic and social problems.
"The progressive platform must be
thoroughly constructive and uncom
promising on the great issues now to
be fought out to a finish. It is not
the time to compromise on principles
or men. It was the uncompromising
course in Wisconsin that secured wise
and progressive statutes that distin
guished our commonwealth. Standing
solidly together we will continue the
"Wisconsin way until it is the national
way. And I believe that time is now
at hand."

WHOLE COUNTY INTERESTED IN RACE
Series of Special Prizes To Be Given
At Intervals Attracts
More Entrants- Are
Expected.
In tomorrow's Enterprise will be
published for the first time the com
plete list of names and standings of
the contestants thus far entered in
tke Grand. Automobile Contest. The
public as well as each contestant has
wondered who the candidates are and
how many votes they have secured
to date in the race for the automo
bile. As the prize to be awarded is the
most expensive gift ever awarded in
a similar contest in this part of the
state, the whole county is interested
in the progress of each contestant.
As all restrictions in this contest as
to who may enter have been removed,
men, women, boys and girls have en
tered and all are out working hard
to stand at the top of the4ist when
votes are counted tof- the first 'time
tonight.
There are still a few more people
who are endeavoring to arrange their
affairs so they can also get in the
running for the automobile, and in
order to accommodate these late en
tries the nomination blanks will ap
pear once or twice more. As long as
these blanks appear each npminee
will receive one thousand free votes
as a starter.
The announcement that the Enter
prise is going to give a series of spec
ial prizes throughout the race for
the Ford automobile was welcome
news to the contestants. Every ten
days a valuable prize will be awarded
the one who gets the largest number
of votes in the specified time. The
first of these special "ten-day con
tests" closes March 1st and the can
didate receiving the most votes be
tween now and that time will be pre
sented with a $15 merchandise certi
ficate. This entitles the leader to
unrestricted choice of $15 worth of
merchandise in the specified store.
The Enterprise Ford Automobile,
which is a new five-passenger fore
door type, will postively be given
away June 1st to the one getting the
most votes. Votes are given for every
subscription taken for either the
Weekly or Daily Enterprise and so
far the candidates report no difficulty
in securing subscribers for from one
to five years. The vote schedule is
arranged so that the longer term sub
scriptions are worth in votes far more
than those for short terms. Conse
quently each candidate is specializing
on the long-time subscriptions.
The Ford, as presented to the win
ner, is fully equipped in all particu
lars, having wind-shield, top, speedo
meter, lights and a complete kit of
tools. There ia not a single part
missing which one would have to buy
before taking the car away for sev
eral years hard use. Fords are the
most popular cars in the county, their
strength and durability being well
known. One-half the local cars are
of this make and perhaps the essential
reason for this fact is the extremely
low cost of their maintainence. In
selecting a car worthy of being given
as first prize in an Enterprise con
test, all these things were considered.
An up-to-date automobile is the
fondest wish of every one and here is
the chance to obtain a $785 car with
out cost Enter the contest now,
while there is still a chance to catch
up with the rest. Get out and work
you will be surprised to find how
easy it is to get subscriptions to the
Enterprise. The car goes to the hard
est worker who gets the best results
and you have the same chance as the
other fellow. Send in the nomination
blank at once and watch for your
name in the list tomorrow.

LEVINGS AND MASS TO BE PRESENT
Judge Says Object of Court in Ask
ing Conference Is To Aid
Prosecution If He
Wants It.
District Attorney Tongue today will
confer with the County Court regard
ing the suggestion that a special
prosecutor, be appointed to serve in
the Hill murder case. Mr. Tongue
will arrive in the city at 10:30 o'clock
when the conference with the court
will be started. Detective Levings,
Sheriff Mass and probably a legal ad-,
viser of the court will attend the ses
sion which will be held behind closed
doors.
Friends of Mr. Tongue said Friday
that the district attorney would have
no trouble proving to the court that
he had done everything in his power
to aid the sheriff in solving the crime.
Mr. Tongue's attitude is understood
to be that there is no use of the grand
jury returning an indictment in the
case if conviction apparently is im
possible: "Our object," said County Judge
Beatie, "in asking Mr. Tongue to meet
with us is to find out whether he de
sires legal assistance and to deter
mine after the matter is investigated
whether it is advisable to employ a
prosecutor to assist Mr. Tongue."
. It was declared Friday that there
is doubt as to whether the county
court has a right to interfere in a
matter, which has been considered en-(
tirely within the jurisdiction of the
District Attorney. Mr. Tongue, in a
conversation over telephone, said he
would be perfectly willing to take up
the case with the county court, but it
is known if he thinks his rights have
been imposed upon, he will say so in
plain words. The court, however,
from the start has tried to make it
plain that no reflection upon Mr.
Tongue has been intended, and that
the case was considered only after
several citizens had made certain
statements regarding reports emanat
ing from the grand jury room.
By long distance telephone Mr.
Tongue, who was at Astoria, said that
he had not advised the grand jury to
indict Harvey or not to indict him.
"If any grand juror told the county
court-that I advised the grand jury
not to indict Harvey, the statement is
a lie," said the prosecutor.
Continuing, he said: "Since the
grand jury's action, and not before.
I have publicity stated that the evi
dence that went before the grand
jury the evidence that would be per
mitted in a court of justice was not
sufficient to hang a dog oh."
